We’re so excited to announce the newest member of our Kinesiology team at Total Therapy, Amy Young!

We’re so excited to see her transition into our Kinesiology department, where she will bring her expertise and dedication to helping others improve their overall well-being.

The Road to Kinesiology

Amy’s journey into Kinesiology was driven by her deep connection to her body as a dancer. This connection inspired her to study Kinesiology to gain a better understanding of anatomy, physiology, and the science of movement. Her goal is to utilize her unique life experiences to help others feel and move better.

She strives to get a full picture of you as a person and your lifestyle to ensure a comfortable and effective recovery journey.

In fact, Amy has been volunteering at PARC, an accessible gym for individuals with spinal cord injuries!
